The two giants have been pencilled in for matches against Roy Hodgson’s side at Wembley on the 15th and 19th – immediately in the aftermath of Armistice Day.

Although international relations with Germany are good, there is still friction between England and Argentina.

Only this month, the South American country’s president launched a fresh attack on Britain by declaring her nation was “forcibly stripped” of the Falkland Islands.

Cristina Kirchner put an advert in UK and US newspapers demanding Prime Minister David Cameron restored power to Argentina.

And in June 2011, Argentina’s FIFA vice-president Julio Grondona – who is also president of his country’s national association – branded the English “liars” and “pirates” at the FIFA Congress in Zurich. He later apologised.

The FA want Argentina at Wembley because they are desperate to have the world’s best player, Lionel Messi, play against England to top their 150th anniversary celebrations.

It is understood Argentina have yet to agree to the game, which will also have political implications over there.
